Ollie is the ideal toy project for someone who knows basic crochet and wants to experiment with other techniques. He is made using oddments of Handknit Cotton and can be used as a paperweight or a decoration.

This cushion has been designed to use up all the oddments of yarn that aren't long enough to be used in a project in their own right. It can be worked using either 4ply, DK or aran weight yarn from your stash.

This alternative Christmas Advent calendar can be made from oddments of yarn. Jemma Weston has used Kid Classic but any other yarn from your stash, that is suitable for felting, can be used as a substitute.
